In Arusha, Tanzania, locals have ingeniously transformed desert areas into thriving savannas by digging semicircular holes. This simple method collects rainwater, preventing evaporation, and allowing grass seeds to grow, binding the soil and preventing erosion. Introduced by the NGO Justdiggit, over 200,000 of these holes, called "bunds," have been dug since 2013, aiding in the fight against desertification in Kenya and Tanzania.
